Acts 9-10 – November 18

The testimony of Paul’s conversion shows us that no one is too far gone. In one day Paul went from “breathing threats and murder” against believers to becoming a believer himself. One encounter with the presence of Jesus can change someone forever!

Acts 9:31 tells us what is essential for the church to multiply; it says, “Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.” We must walk in the fear of the Lord, and we must receive comfort and help from the Holy Spirit trusting He wants to help us in His love.

There is a powerful truth contained in Acts 10:4. Our prayers and our giving cause a “memorial” to come before God. When we pray and give out of love, God is not unjust to forget; He will answer and reward.
